Precise regulation of dNTPs within the cellular nucleotide pool is essential for high accuracy of DNA replication and is critical for retaining the genomic integrity. Recently, human dCTPase (deoxycytidine triphosphatase), also known as DCTPP1 (human all-alpha dCTP pyrophosphatase 1) has been revealed to be a key player in the balance of pyrimidine nucleotide concentrations within cells, with DCTP

According to a recent conjecture in the literature, earnings have become a poorer proxy for cash flow from operations over time. We find that since 1988, when cash flow statements started to be consistently reported in Compustat, the cash effectiveness of earnings has actually increased for a large sample of U.S. manufacturing firms. This occurs despite the introduction of fair value accounting an

Abstract: Femtosecond laser-induced plasma spectroscopy (FLIPS) was performed to achieve full-range mixture fraction measurements in non-reacting CH4/air flow fields. A femtosecond laser at 800 nm was used to generate a plasma channel with a uniform intensity distribution. Through measuring spatially resolved spectra and calibration, we found that the spectral intensity ratios of CH (431 nm)/N2 (3

This paper investigates trends in the study of Modern languages or second foreign languages (SFLs) in Swedish lower secondary school between 2000 and 2018. Over the last decades, SFLs, i.e. French, German and Spanish, have been the target of several policy measures as a response to a declining interest. However, few reports on their impact have been published. We report the proportion of pupils st

In 2019, the Climaginaries project ran a climate fiction competition. Out of more than 40 entries, five winners were selected and published in this collection. More of the entries can be found on climaginaries.org/anthroposcenes.

Evaporators are integral parts of many separation processes across production industries, and they need to be well understood in order to be operated well, thereby enabling high resource-efficiency and productivity. In a previous investigation, the effects of disturbing oscillations in a two-stage evaporator system were quantified. In the current study, these oscillations were reduced through traj

The influence of grain boundaries on the mechanical properties of poly-crystalline metals is well known. Here we investigate the influence from a centrally placed grain boundary in nano-sized beams of Cu subjected to tensile loading. The crystallographic orientations in the grains are [100], [110] and [111]. The investigation is performed by means of molecular dynamic simulations employing the molThe influence of grain boundaries on the mechanical properties of poly-crystalline metals is well known.

Objective: Auditory change-detection responses provide information on sound discrimination and memory skills in infants. We examined both the automatic change-detection process and the processing of emotional information content in speech in preterm infants in comparison to full-term infants at term age. Methods: Preterm (n = 21) and full-term infants' (n = 20) event-related potentials (ERP) were

Introduction: Oral contraceptives (OC) have been shown to give a transient increased breast cancer risk. However, studies on breast cancer survival after OC use are sparse and conflicting.Aim: The aim of this study was to examine previous use of OC in relation to survival after breast cancer diagnosis.Methods: Data was collected from Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, with baseline examinations between

A novel technique for studies of the dynamics of molecular coherences has been developed. The concept is based on prompt excitation using broadband femtosecond (fs) laser pulses, whereupon a narrowband nanosecond (ns) laser pulse probes the fast dynamics of the coherences. Detection of the spectrally dispersed coherent signal using a streak camera allows simultaneous spectrally and temporally reso

The amount of short wavelength (ultraviolet (UV), violet and blue) light that reaches the retina depends on the transmittance properties of the ocular media, especially the lens, and varies greatly across species in all vertebrate groups studied previously. We measured the lens transmittance in 32 anuran amphibians with different habits, geographical distributions and phylogenetic positions and us

This article addresses the ways in which contemporary political processes, neoliberal market forces, and identity politics of the twenty-first century have affected the understanding of Swedish heritage. Examining the work being done at the Hallwyl Museum in Stockholm, Sweden and the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we aim to illustrate how heritage is staged, performed, and e
